old & about as large as Kate. Dell looks well but is not as large. You do not know how thick the flies are out here. It seems as if they would rat me up. They are not quite as bad out here in the shade of the corn crib, which is my parlor, as they are in the house. You must write me & tell me all about yourselves & how you are getting along. Do you remember me when you say your little prayer at night & ask God to care for me away here. I remember you & Eddie & Mama & Artie them & ask the good Good to take care of you all & to help you to be good noble boys & to grow up to be good noble men. I want you to be very careful about eating green fruit or anything to make you sick as you will not only suffer but it will make it so very hard for your good mama. with a loving kiss I bid my dear little boys good bye. I am your affectionate father N. Kendall
